If these companies (RIM, Apple, Microsoft) cannot compete directly on products (smart phone), then lawsuits that are the result of the purchase of Nortel's IP assets should not give them the relief that the market place won't grant.
In essence, the DOJ has this chance to determine whether market place competition trumps backroom deals to cut out a primary competitor.
If the existence of a backroom deal between three of the top four smartphone platforms does not in itself constitute collusion to limit a competitor's (Google's Android) ability to openly engage in the market place, then what does?
How did we lose our way, where the oligarchs dictate market outcomes?
